We calculate and analyze the complex structural, electronic and magnetic quantities of solids and molecules – for fundamental research and practical applications.
The quantum mechanical nature of matter is the basis of all functioning of electronic devices, and can be the basis of a new form of information processing.
We develop and use scattering techniques to understand the structural and magnetic order, fluctuations and excitations in magnetic systems and in highly correlated electron systems at the atomic level.
Development of new procedures for understanding material properties on the atomic level with a special focus on ultrahigh resolution electron microscopy techniques.
We explore the interrelations between electronic structure and physical properties like magnetism and magnetic phenomena, e.g. by applying synchrotron radiation techniques.
We do research together with our partner institute at RWTH Aachen University for the nanoelectronic of the future. For this, we investigateelectronicphenomenainoxidesandelectronicallyactiveorganicmolecules.
Our interdisciplinary team of physicists, chemists, biologists and electrical engineers studies and develops functional assemblies of biological components and electronic devices.
Technical and Administrative Infrastructure (PGI/JCNS-TA)
The staff of Technical and Administrative Infrastructure support the researchers at the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI) and the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) in their work - quickly and efficiently. True to our motto “Good infrastructure for good science”, we seek to optimize processes according to the requirements of our customers, even beyond the boundaries of institutes.
